DOUBLE DUTY: This view of the big dry dock at Beth- lehem Steel's Beaumont, Texas, shipyard shows the cut- ter suction dredge Captain Clark and the SS San Mateo Victory sharing the recently expanded and modernized facility. The Captain Clark, 252 feet by 50 feet by 1 1 feet, was in the yard for repairs following collision with a ship in the Mississippi River outlet to the Gulf of Mexico. Extensive repairs to the hull, hull internals and spud keepers were necessary, and the original wood upper house was replaced by a completely new steel one. The San Mateo Victory, 436Vz feet by 62 feet by 38 feet, was being prepared for layup in the U.S. Gov- ernment's Beaumont Reserve Fleet in the Neches River. The Beaumont yard dry dock has a length of 650 feet, width of 87 feet, and lifting capacity of 17,500 tons and handles ships ranging up to the C4 types. Sky Climber, Inc.
